Description of research project

In this research project, we aim to explore the current knowledge, understanding, and experiences of HRM professionals in Aotearoa regarding digital technology and digital transformation. This investigation will inform the development of a HRM digital competency framework and assess the impact of this understanding on the acceptance and capacity-building of digital technologies in the workplace.
This research aims to provide valuable insights for organisations, professional HR institutions, HR training organisations, and members of the HR profession, by enhancing their understanding of essential digital competencies for the HR profession and its functions. It will shed light on how these competencies influence employees and stakeholders, helping HR professionals navigate the digital landscape effectively and maximise the benefits of digital tools for everyone involved. By emphasising continuous knowledge enhancement and development, this research strives to strengthen the expertise of HR professionals in the field.
